Zusammenfassung: | The book contains the memoirs of Robert van Voren covering the period 1977-2008 and provides unique insights into the dissident movement in the Soviet Union in the 1980s, both inside the country and abroad. As a result of his close friendship with many of the leading dissidents and his dozens of trips to the USSR as a courier, he had intimate knowledge of the ins and outs of the dissident movement and participated in many of the campaigns to obtain the release of Soviet political prisoners. In the late 1980s he became involved in building a humane and ethical practice of psychiatry in Eastern Europe and the (ex- ) USSR, based on respect for the human rights of persons with mental illness. |

of Robert van Voren covering the period 1977-2008 and provides unique insights into the dissident movement in the Soviet Union in the 1980s, both inside the country and abroad. As a result of his close friendship with many of the leading dissidents and his dozens of trips to the USSR as a courier, he had intimate knowledge of the ins and outs of the dissident movement and participated in many of the campaigns to obtain the release of Soviet political prisoners. In the late 1980s he became involved in building a humane and ethical practice of psychiatry in Eastern Europe and the (ex- ) USSR, based on respect for the human rights of persons with mental illness.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="546" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Extended version of the Dutch edition Levenslang; tussen dissindenten en waanzin, translated [into English] by Ellen Mercer.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Voren, Robert van.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n83239372</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Voren, Robert van</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJgXgQ8TJb9rJqTDkCWCcP</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Dissenters</subfield><subfield code="z">Soviet Union</subfield><subfield code="x">History.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Soviet Union</subfield><subfield code="x">History</subfield><subfield code="y">1985-1991.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh91005836</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Dissidents</subfield><subfield code="z">URSS</subfield><subfield code="x">Histoire.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">URSS</subfield><subfield code="x">Histoire</subfield><subfield code="y">1985-1991.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">HISTORY.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Dissenters</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Soviet Union</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="648" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">1985-1991</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">History</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">On dissidents and madness (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCFTQ4TcCfVW4QGK68TvbkC</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Voren, Robert van.</subfield><subfield code="t">On dissidents and madness.</subfield><subfield code="d">Amsterdam ; New York, NY : Rodopi, 2009</subfield><subfield code="z">9042025840</subfield><subfield code="z">9789042025844</subfield><subfield code="w">(OCoLC)319498222</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="830" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">On the boundary of two worlds ;</subfield><subfield code="v">17.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2004056705</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="l">FWS01</subfield><subfield code="p">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield><subfield code="q">FWS_PDA_EBA</subfield><subfield code="u">https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=281494</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Askews and Holts Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">ASKH</subfield><subfield code="n">AH37543621</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">EBL - Ebook Library</subfield><subfield code="b">EBLB</subfield><subfield code="n">EBL556717</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">EBSCOhost</subfield><subfield code="b">EBSC</subfield><subfield code="n">281494</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">YBP Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">YANK</subfield><subfield code="n">3340439</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">YBP Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">YANK</subfield><subfield code="n">3087003</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="994" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">92</subfield><subfield code="b">GEBAY</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="049" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">DE-863</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |
